Why Eintracht Frankfurt is a good bet versus Napoli

The home team has been playing well. Although Frankfurt does show a loss in the last 5, it came versus Cologne and it happened in a road match.

The draw versus Bayern in Munich happened on Jan. 28. One thing to note is that all three home wins came on Frankfurt’s pitch. So the Bundesliga squad has an edge in this.

Why Napoli is a good bet versus Eintracht Frankfurt

Few teams have played as well as Napoli this season. In fact, the Serie A leaders could make a strong case for being the top club team at UEFA.

Before the World Cup hiatus, Napoli had run off 13 straight victories. Since Napoli returned to the pitch, it’s been more of the same. The Napoleons head into this match with 7 wins and a draw in their last 8.

Final Betting Analysis: Napoli at Eintracht Frankfurt

Napoli can win the Champions League. We can’t say the same for Frankfurt. Although Eintracht is a solid club, and they do have home pitch in this, the German Bundesliga team hasn’t played great soccer.

Yes, Frankfurt shows 3 wins. But Cologne didn’t just beat the home time in this. Cologne dusted Frankfurt 3-0.

The loss is a sign Frankfurt may not be ready to battle a solid club like Napoli. The Napoleons have a 62 points to 47 points lead over Inter on the Serie A standings. That tells us Napoli is for real.

Frankfurt could fight hard, though. So since this is on the Bundesliga’s squad’s grass, Frankfurt projects to lose by a single goal and that’s probably it. Napoli’s goal scores in regulation.

Champions League Pick: Napoli +114
